Lets see how fast your car is with 50rwhp less. Point I'm getting at is I want to do it with sub 300rwhp.

Thats what im saying good for your car ya but the time not so much. Probably benifit the most from good drag shocks. Lowering that 60' is core.

I feel this will drop my 60' quite a bit and get me damn near 11's with no added power mods. We will see.
Save your money on battle boxes. Just find a good welder and have them put a solid bead around the stock boxes. Then drill out the control arm holes on the body side so that a 5/8" bolt will fit it. I did this and 450+ dumps at 6800+ and no signs of any tears.

Just do the above, weld the axle tubes and a girdle and you're done. Well that and a good diff.

I've had the battle boxes for months now. So I'm going to bolt them in myself. And already have 5/8 grade 8 bolts in.

I would have no problems doin that. It use to all be in my sig. The ford guys constantly recited it to me and others. I'm sure they can still do it....lmao.

There are some people that I know more than others, does that bother you?
yes....I'm jealous ....for now. Once I start driving the termi notch around I'm sure I will be accepted into the ford brother hood.

You really don't have a clue. Anyone else can pm me if you want to know what was done to the ewp if you promise not to tell redass. Besides I don't have a Meizure ewp.....I do have a Meziere ewp.

after being in the shop for multiple box area welding/upgrading.... i can say id most likely rather make some plates to reinforce that area. I would not trust just welds. Metal is too thin. You might make 500 passes on them and not tear... but it will happen over time...even if that means twisting up the body near the boxes. If theres one thing i know, its metals and welding...After all, its what pays my bills and gets me my toys

Subframes will keep her stiff, but wont stop the car from twisting. Get an arb and pop a link out on the street.

ARB is going to become a reality but not sure when.

I just hope it works out as well as those ported manifolds. You trailer park guys have all the tricks dammit.

Really? I've always heard they are one of the first things you should do.

from everything I've read, SFC's are not worth it as far as speed goes on a car with less than 400WHP.

I can't speak for Fbodies but I can say that on Mustangs they make a difference as soon as you put them on. My 95 with full length sfc is so stiff that I can jack up one side of the car and the other side will come off the ground. Something that can't be done on a stock Mustang since the body will just flex.
